Transformers prime: Bloodline (Bumblebee x Male Cadet Reader)

Chapter three: An old friend returns

(As the four returned to school, the imposing figure of the school principal, Ms. Johnson, emerged from her office, positioning herself to confront the quartet of students. The air thickened with anticipation as the authority figure addressed them, casting an expectant gaze that hinted at a looming discussion or potential consequences for their actions.)

Ms. Johnson: Where have you four been? Your teachers have been calling me while I was in a meeting with other faculty members in the room. I expect an explanation for your absence, and I hope it's a valid one.

(The trio remained silent, but Bumblebee took a step forward, a protective stance assumed on behalf of his friends.)

Bumblebee: It was my fault, Ms. Johnson, I was at the mall with my girlfriend today, and while we were talking, a wave of sorrow hit me. It's been tough dealing with the loss of Optimus Prime, my old friend who sacrificed himself for the planet. I sincerely apologize if I caused any inconvenience by not messaging my friends or anything.

(Ms. Johnson, recognizing the genuine emotion in Bumblebee's words, softened her stance and motioned for them to head back to class.)

Ms. Johnson: Thank you for addressing this situation, Bumblebee. You and your friends are free to go.

(As Bumblebee and his friends made their way back to class, Bumblebee entered his history class only to find his teacher Mrs. Stone, who was seated in her chair, awaiting his return. The air carried a subtle sense of relief, with the understanding that they had managed to navigate the situation with honesty and sincerity.)
